Determine If Windows SharePoint Services Is in Active Directory Account Creation Mode
You can use Stsadm.exe to determine if Windows SharePoint
Services is in Active Directory account creation mode.
To determine
if you are in Active Directory account creation mode, type the following
command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
stsadm.exe -o getproperty -pn createadaccounts
- A response of <Property Exist="Yes" Value="Yes" />
indicates that Windows SharePoint Services is in Active Directory account
creation mode.
- A response of <Property Exist="Yes" Value="no" />

creation mode.
You can use Windows SharePoint Services in Active Directory
account creation mode so that new user accounts are created automatically, up
to a configurable limit based on the e-mail addresses. For more information
about using Active Directory account creation mode, see the
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Administration Guide.
